The Cygnus Wall

I dug out some very old (but very nice) data from a LONG time ago. This is an image of the Cygnus Wall taken with the original Hyperstar (no collimation or camera rotation adjusters) and a tiny little H9C OSC … Continue reading

The Cygnus Wall

A real blast from the past. Just came across this one and tarted it up a little on Paint Shop Pro. This is the Cygnus Wall region of the North America Nebula. I cannot remember the year this was taken … Continue reading

I used Registar to add together all the data I had on the Running Man nebula in Orion.  This amounted to well over 80 hours of total exposure time including some recent 5 x 1,000 second subs from the Hyperstar … Continue reading

Wide field image of M51, the Whirlpool galaxy in Canes Venatici

I used Registar to create this composite of Hyperstar I and Hyperstar III data taken of the Whirlpool galaxy, M51.  Around 3 and a half hours of f#2 data taken with an 11″ SCT.  Clearly worth getting even more data … Continue reading
